18 April 2016

Seven months after returning home from the 14th European Maccabi Games in Berlin, the Maccabi SA U16 Futsal team have manged to win gold in their Fives Futbol 5-a-side soccer league.

The team entered into the Men’s 2nd division and after a grueling 11 week long campaign, managed to only lose one game the whole season and finished in 1st place in the league. They then went on to win their semi-final 7-4 putting them through to the final which they convincingly won 5-1.

“The experience gained from the European Maccabi Games in Berlin certainly helped us in achieving our gold medals, it taught us that discipline when defending and team work are important ingredients for victory” said Jojo Sher, a member of the victorious team.

With many of these boys aged only 16, the future of Maccabi SA Futsal is bright!
